What is a Reverse Refinance Loan?
A Reverse Mortgage Refinance allows homeowners aged 62 and older to refinance their existing reverse mortgage or traditional home loan into a new reverse mortgage. This refinance option enables seniors to increase their loan amount, access more home equity, or secure better loan terms—all while eliminating required monthly mortgage payments.
A Reverse Mortgage Refinance allows homeowners who already have a reverse mortgage or a traditional mortgage to refinance into a new reverse mortgage with improved benefits. The refinance process lets borrowers:
✔Access additional home equity (if property values have increased).
✔Secure a lower interest rate to reduce loan costs.
✔Convert a traditional mortgage into a reverse mortgage to eliminate monthly payments.
✔Extend loan benefits for a spouse if only one borrower was on the original loan. Unlike a conventional refinance, a reverse mortgage refinance does not require monthly mortgage payments
—borrowers continue living in their homes while using their equity to enhance financial stability.
If you're looking for a way to improve your financial stability, supplement retirement income, or lower costs on an existing reverse mortgage, a Reverse Mortgage Refinance could be the right solution for you.
How Does a Reverse Refinance Loan Work?
A Reverse Refinance Loan allows homeowners to replace their current reverse or traditional mortgage with a new reverse mortgage that provides better terms or increased access to home equity.
Lenders evaluate:
✔ The borrower’s age (must be 62+).
✔ The home’s current market value (appraisal required).
✔ Existing loan balance and remaining home equity.
✔ Whether the new loan provides a financial benefit to the borrower.
Once approved, the borrower receives the new loan without monthly mortgage payments, and the loan balance is repaid when they sell the home, move out, or pass away.
